Will there be sick animals ?

[Skele.kytten]

I'm curious what others out there think about this. Will there be sick animals in Planet Zoo, and if so how in depth do you think it well be ?

There will be no sick animals in my zoo.
I will take them home with me.

 

[Jenner]

Yup.
Also cool and radical ones, too.

Ok, just kidding.

Having ill critters would be a nice addition to any zoo simulator I'd think.

The genetics system has been mentioned to influence immune system. That in mind, I’m fairly sure we will get sickness in some form or another

 

[Alchymaera]

Ah, how to phrase this so it comes out right...

I obviously don't want animals to be sick -- but I do want them to be able to get sick in the game. More immersion, more potential challenge, more reason to keep animals healthy, etc..

The Other question is..... Gets the Current Generation of Animals immune on that after Vaccineing them ? thats almostAnnoying that Dinosaurs got Sick over and over and over again even when they had Vaccined against, Bird Flu and ticks and other sicknesses who must have a Vaccination only a few time in the years or even untid dead .

They mentioned animals limping if they were hurt/sick as a sign that they were, instead of outright telling the player. So yes, I think there will be sick animals

Yeah, I'm really interested to see what kinds of animal behavior there will be. It will definitely be a nice addition to the management aspect of the game.

Health and Disease

Animals have health needs. According to PC Gamer magazine: “You have to…prevent them from getting diseases.” That also add: “What we have to do, as animators, is make sure their health is readable." An example of this it that, when an animal is sick, its body language will change. Its head will droop or its walk cycle will be more labored.”
